I love to stereotype people. Being judgmental really helps
me do that. I have had experience of exercising in several gyms. At none have I
accomplished what I wanted to but at all I have observed others with demeaning
thoughts. I now know there are just 5 men who come to the gym
1. The Body-builder: At every gym there is at least one guy of this type. He has bulging biceps with a cheap looking tattoo plastered on them, chest that is about to fall from his t-shirt and speaks grammatically incorrect English. He generally speaks in the accent that is of the village closest to the gym and freezes if a girl asks him about an exercise. Generally comes to the gym with a friend who does not exercise or ensures he gathers a few people like that around him.
2. The fat guy: He comes to the gym to serve two purposes. First he ensures that others at the gym are motivated to exercise else they will become like him. Second he is the potential winner of looser of the month title. His shirt is wet even before he warms up. Is seen in the gym for a few days and then vanishes for a few weeks to restore the losses at McDonalds
3. The stick: He is so thin that even the elastic socks are loose on his shins. You can see his ribs swell out from his t-shirt when he is actually trying to do a bench press. Usually grunts while exercising with a 2.5lbs weight. Do not be surprised if you see him swallowing a pound of protein powder post “pumping iron”
4. The trainer: Is more updated than the actual gym trainer on exercising and bodybuilding. Usually has the body of an accountant but accessories that will give complex to a sports shop. Solicits advice and would leave his exercise in the middle just to teach you the ethics of doing triceps exercise
5. The good guy: Has built just the right set of muscles and more importantly of the right size. Minds his own business and is accommodating while exercising. The real inspiration in the gym. But wait for him to turn into a snob or the body-builder.
